Hi

I recently installed a new motherboard and when I turn the PC on it boots up for a few seconds and a error message appears "CMOS checksum error" and then all of a sudden it turns off. :cry:

I am a bit of a novice so was wondering if any of you have any ideas what the problem is. Any help would be really appreciated.:cheesy:

Thanks
Lee

That could be severall things , bad bios , dead bios battery or wrong settings in youre bios.

First try to "load default values" in youre bios. (if you can get in youre bios anyway)



Second try reseting the cmos , pull the powercord , remove the motherboards battery and switch a jumper around. (see manuall for detailled instructions)

Also make sure that the above mentioned jumper is not set in the "reset" position now.



Or try a new battery.
